FADER began with a simple question:

Can we reduce a shark’s ability to visually identify a person in the water?

Built on 12 years of shark deterrent research and 30 years of shark diving experience, FADER was developed around the concept of disrupting visual recognition through camouflage-inspired wetsuit patterns. 🩵🩶💚

Rather than attracting attention, FADER aims to help the wearer blend more naturally into their marine environment, reducing visual contrast and breaking up the human silhouette beneath the surface. 🌊

This is the story of the research, the testing and the man behind the idea.

We also want to thank our Senior Research Officer, Rob Carraro, who is stepping away for personal and family reasons. His contribution has been instrumental in bringing FADER to where it is today and we wish him and his family all the best. We hope to see him back in the future.

The First True Fader wetsuit

Yes it’s the end of the line for our flagship 2mm.

It’s was the first with our now signature ergonomic shoulders, tapered shoulder and flared waits. The design was so good once perfected it hasn’t changed in 6 years.

Combined with highest flex limestone neoprene no wetsuit fitted girls like this apart from fragile triathlon or racing swimsuits.

It showed that functional swimming wetsuit didn’t have to be ugly black.

Flatlock stitched for strength these suits lasted years. Some of the early ones are looking a bit shabby but still in use and loved. A few girls before we sold out got a replacement of theirs.

Only 1 size 8’s new and just 1 size 8 used left.

But it’s all right

An updated 2.5 mm green are here and we have more 3/2 blues on the way.

For a lot of us here this will still be our first.

Isn’t it time wetsuits changed?

For 70 years black had been the only suits on offer.

But what if high contrast black was the worst possible colour to wear in the ocean?

Did you know shark vision is based around contrasts?

What if there was another choice ?

There is Fader PHANTOM

Limestone Neoprene that’s more flexible than what most big brands use
Thermal torso for warmth

Sunshine

For Spring our best selling Ruby Red Springsuit is back in a big way.

The cut is just right to flatter while being functional and because they are made with the best @yamamotowetsuits 39 limestone neoprene, blind stitched and have our easy slide inner layer they feel smooth on to use for any water sport.

How good are they?
Ask someone that has one.

Size range Aus 4-12 are available now in store at 164 Hunter st Newcastle or online www.faderwetsuits.com.
